What’s wrong with rougelikes in your opinion? I don’t usually seek them out, but for a good while I was super addicted to Binding of Isaac. I think the gameplay loop is pretty fun.

The rest of your comment I agree with wholeheartedly.

Thankfully the chances of that happening would be reduced by the difference between the solar system’s ecliptic place vs that of the Milky Way. According to this Stack Exchange user, it’s a 60.2-degree difference. Illustrated beautifully here.

Then again, it isn’t called a “cloud” for nothing. Still, a large chunk of it is theorized to be aligned with the plane of the solar system.

This is really cool, thanks for sharing!

You can find plenty of ISO files on archive.org. I’m not sure about the legality of it, so I’ll say I don’t condone doing it, etc. But some of them have been there for several years, so I think MS doesn’t care.

Just be careful about clinking links in the user comments. People have been known to post shady links and moderation seems to be lacking, from what I’ve seen.

Good luck getting your game to run! Oh, and long live archive.org!

I have a virtual machine with WinXP and one with 98, for when I’m feeling nostalgic :)

Sorry to hear you have to use Windows… I’m still stuck on 10 but I’ve been enjoying the hell out of Mint Xfce and I’ll complete the move soon enough!
